You Can Do Whatever You Like
A preacher preached a fiery sermon against drinking, smoking, cursing, and pornography.
A lady came up to him after the service and very candidly said, "Don't you fill like you are missing out on life because you can't do all of those things?"
He replied, "I can."
She was shocked, "As a pastor you can drink, smoke, curse, and look at pornography."
He very politely smiled and said, "Yes I can. I can do anything I want. However, for the sake of Jesus Christ and all he did for me, I choose not to."

For today, choose to do what makes God smile!

You have done so awesome this week blogging every day! :) I love the verse at the end of this post. This is one of my favorite verses and comes to my mind a lot. As Christians, we really are at liberty. We live in freedom rather than legalism. But if we use our freedom unwisely, we'll ultimately become slaves to sin and carnality. True freedom only comes when our hearts strive for obedience. And that verse is an excellent verse for our kids to learn!
